Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-04-10

A brilliant week In Theatricals for
the Public.

Mrs. Langtry, the famous beauty.
win appear at the Theatre tomorrow
night In "a Wife's Peril" In this
comedy Mrs. Langtry assumes the role
of Lady Ormond, q society woman.
Mrs. Langtry has been society woman,
and therefore the part suits her, and in
| its performance she brings out the re-
finement and elegance OF presence in
separable from such character. In
the piece Lady Ormond falls in love
with her husbands friend. and is lead
by her weakness almost TO disgrace, but
is saved from disaster by the prompt
ipps of an aroused conscience and the
diplomacy of the family physician.
The character OF Lady Ormond Is the
best of Mrs. Langtry's impetsonations.
1t is alleged that no trace Of her self
consciousness or amateurish manners
that fettered her when she appeared at
the Theatre several years ago remains,
and her beauty has suffered no diminu-
ton, while her Partisan gowns are mar
wells of loneliness.
The play Tuesday night will be the
"Lady of Lyons Mrs. Langtry last
night telegraphed Mrs. Powell "Im-
possible TO play 'Pygmalion and Ga
iatea. l had instructed Mr.. Lynch,

ons. II is his mistake. l will only
